C’est ainsi qu’il commande un panorama géant de la ville de New York qui l’aide à figurer les projets d’implantation de sa statue. Dessinant sur les images, les retouchant, il se livre aussi à des photomontages. L’image, et en particulier la photographie, jouent ici un rôle inédit.Au-delà de leur fonction, ces images oscillent entre réalité et fiction. Elles racontent vingt années d’un projet démesuré et utopique marqué par les plus grands enjeux politiques, sociaux, architecturaux et esthétiques de son temps.

Résumé:
Thios publication explores how Bostonians channeled country lakes through miles of pipeline to provide clean water; dredged the ocean to deepen the harbor; filled tidal flats and covered the peninsula with houses, shops, and factories; and created a metropolitan system of parks and greenways, facilitating the conversion of fields into suburbs. It shows how, in Boston, different class and ethnic groups brought rival ideas of nature and competing visions of a “city upon a hill” to the process of urbanization—and were forced to conform their goals to the realities of Boston’s distinctive natural setting. The outcomes of their battles for control over the city’s development were ultimately recorded in the very fabric of Boston itself. In Boston’s history, we find the seeds of the environmental relationships that—for better or worse—have defined urban America to this day.
